That's not the first time a lottery winner told such a story. I remember reading about a Michigan man who shared a $300M+ MM jackpot with winner from Chicago who said he brought a couple of hot dogs and a drink with a hundred dollar bill and took his change in lottery tickets of which one was the winner.

Sure, KY Floyd, from the beginning of this article, most of us probably started chuckling when the article tried to sell that someone who has a large bill THINKS that they must spend $20 in order for someone to take the trouble to accept that large bill.

Several times, at different gas stations, I've cashed a $50 or $100 bill before, but it's only to buy a pack of gum or my usual twice weekly on-line drawing lottery tickets. A couple of times it was only a $1 purchase. Cash is cash ... if the... [ More ]

The lottery already broke it for him when they held 25% of it for taxes and they will help even more when they send a W-2G to be filed with his taxes.

I wonder if people tell these stories (I don't want to call them liars because they might be telling the truth.) because it makes for a good news story or something

Happy winnings I remember when I hit big on a slot machine 100,000 on a 5 dollar 5 times machine it was awesome till taxes hit on with the win enjoy it goes quick use it wisely

Let me make sure I understand this. The only reason he bought lottery tickets was to break a $100 bill, so he bought two tickets that cost $20 each?

I wonder if he goes to the same church as that woman in Florida. No, pastor, I don't gamble. I just needed to break a $100 bill, and the only thing on sale was $20 lottery tickets.

Good for you, maybe some of the Patel Luck will rub off on you RJ..

Patel seem to be a popular name in lottery winners stories. I heard a Patel took over a local gas station that sells lottery tickets, maybe I'll start buying my tickets there.

Congratulation Mr. Noll.

Congratulations to the winner. The common thread in many of these winner stories is the winner only purchased the winning ticket for another purpose, change to buy a sandwich (requires the purchase of two $20 scratch tickets); stuck in traffic, so bought three, $20 tickets; doing laundry and wanted to pass the time, et al. I play lottery games to win and so do all these players.

Mass Lottery churns out so many millionaires in scratch cards, it's mind boggling. But it's not as easy as it may appear. Mr. Noll you are one lucky man. Mr Patel caught some windfall

Massachusetts man buys lottery tickets to break $100 bill, wins $10 million

Lottery Post — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 19:05:33 GMT

A Massachusetts man who bought two lotto tickets so he could break a $100 bill to buy lunch was left stunned after he ended up scooping an astonishing $10 million in prize money.

Richard Noll only purchased two $20 Platinum Millions instant tickets at Lanzilli Groceria in East Boston so he'd have smaller notes to buy food at a sandwich shop, reports ItemLive.com.

But he ended up with much more than he bargained for when he scratched the cards and discovered he was a newly minted multimilli... [ More ]
